Project Runway Game 8 ~ The Pumpkin Patch Party Challenge WINNERS POSTED!

I was actually planning on making costumes for my dolls anyway...But who to enter? I will think on this.

 

YES! A free month and an amazing challenge to go with it! Now I just have to figure out what I want to do so that I know who I want to enter.

 

\o/ yay! Already love this challenge
But I have the same dilemma, who to enter?!?!

 

so fun! hmm... maybe one of my boys this time. weee!!

 

Can we do both a treat container and a headpiece/mask? And just for clarification this is for a costume AND a treat container or headpiece/mask?

ETA: One more question, can we use some store bought items, like say Halloween costume wings, for parts of the costume, not the treat container or headpiece/mask?

 

So, what's the rule on deconstructed items? Eg: Say I go the store and buy a human sized mask so that I can use the material to make a mask or prop for my doll. Or, I buy a set of human wings and then use the feathers for a dress or mask.

 

Alright, I'll start this shindig off!

Official Entry:

The idea behind this costume is that Sara is an adult who is invited to a party thrown by Mr. Letz Party - the local, wealthy, eccentric man - and so she is in a costume while still dressed appropriately for a swanky party at a mansion. And just in case the detail photo doesn't tip you off, I did make the shoes. I also made the bo (it was a dowel that I cut to the right length and stained, so i guess that counts as "making").

I'm definitely in for this challenge

SUBMISSION:

\o/ woohoo, I have made it!!
Theme of the costume is "The Frog Prince" and it was inspired by the fairy tale of same name and fantastic Alice in Wonderland. I had a thought, "what if Mr. Frog was in Alice's Wonderland?" and this came out of it LOL
Items that are either sewn or sewn & glued by me: the crown, the shirt, jacket, pants, goodies bag, glove.
The eyes are red buttons with some funky blue-green freckles (you can't see all that well); the funky leaf prop was sewn up from fabric leaves.

I did it! I sewed the hat, treat bag, and tunic by hand. I even made his stocking, but used the machine.

Fallen Angel, sculpted the horns and wings (the first wings i made did not work at all!) but i like the way these turned out, looking more like bloody bones. made his clothes then had lots of fun slinging paint all over hehe! made his kitty goody bag (he loves it, he is not a bad guy, just likes to play one on Halloween!) did NOT make the pumpkin, just used it for fun in the pictures. his cuts and red eye are red electrical tape, his hair is scraps of faux fur. this was fun, thanks! everyone's looks great so far!

Happy Halloween!

The Pumpkin Queen​

My take on an old costume favorite...with a new glamorous twist! Do you think Mr. Letz Party will ask her to dance? Note: the color changes in the orange silk occur naturally (it is woven with pink threads that catch the light.)

Mookie is on the left with the flowered shirt

We are finally done. Mookie was agreeable to humoring me by dressing him in the hippie garb of a bygone decade (that would be the 1960s to the young uns' who were not around back then). He was also very patient about hanging around nekkid while I fitted and refitted his tiny togs.

For the head/face part of the challenge, I made both his hair and his mustache. I guess tieing a ribbon around his head for a headband doesn't count as "making".

I also made his jeans and T shirt but his sandals were purchased.

He is wearing his back pack/treat container in the picture with the background but you can only see the shoulder straps of it.

 

Thanks for highlighting this point, elfmoon, I was starting to doubt myself (read: overanalyzing) hahaha

 

Nyesis thinks this sounds like fun (I think she is just wanting another outfit)

Nyesis decided to really play it cool at this party she wanted to go with a high fashion dragon costume.
Made the headpiece, mask, egg shaped bag, glovelets, dress, and wings.

I'm curious of something, so before i enter i thought i'd ask.
Does it have to be traditional Halloween style?
Every year there are certain staples, such as cats, witches, vampires, werewolves, pirates etc, and staple colors such as black, red, orange, and purple.

Is it recommended to stick closer to traditional Halloween or is it open to all extravagance that the imagination can muster?

 

Good to know, I may be throwing my hat into this one.

 

Hmmm new take on an old theme...Monster movie Queen of the Dragons...

Closeup of concept drawing

Original page in sketchbook concept drawing from September 22 2011

What the pleated skirt looks like under the jacket. This outfit took two days to complete from start to finish as I was worried that I might not have time to get it done...

 

All done, I did not know where I was supposed to post all of the above so I posted them here.

 

Note: the goodie bag will hold goodies..I poured a bunch of the little pearls that looked like white gumballs into it to fill it out for the photo shoot and to give it weight, they just don't show up in the photo's...the candy that will fit into it would be more like the size of sweet/tarts in the rolls but at least three rolls will fit in the bag. or Three Tootsie rolls. The Wording...is that goody bag for the dolls or for humans???

These are the best I can do...I cannot afford a better camera I am using my dsi it takes better pictures than my digital camera that got broken at a convention.

 

ahhh...will remember for the next time there is a contest...(taking notes...)

 

So for a headpiece would a detached hood work? Or would it need to be something like a hat?

 

i don't understand the translator translates it very tangled me what they write @o@ i'm sorry

 

Thanks elfmoon!

 

I understand now, thanks elfmoon ^^!

 

I would like to join, but I don't know whether I'll have the time

 

Oh man, this looks like a fun challenge. I wish I actually had one of my dolls with me so I could try it.

 

I've somewhat started but I foresee a change in the direction withing the next few days LOL I'm having trouble narrowing it down >.<
And I am challenging myself outside my comfort zone - to sew for a 5 yr old O.o

So yeah, this should be fun

 

I'm not one of those lovely people who draw out all the details of their designs in advance. I'm more a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants person when it comes to creativity. I'll toss a pile of interesting fabrics onto the table and demand of them, "Okay, speak to me!" And right now a lovely piece of bright orange silk has the loudest voice and is declaring itself the jumping off point for the Pumpkin Queen. Now, I don't know if ordinary pumpkin patches have a queen, but the silk is declaring that it's absolutely true. You know how we've all seen those funny kids' costumes with the big round pumpkin bodies and green stem hats?...well, my twist is to see if I can take that basic concept and glam it up to make it beautiful and unique.

 

I have to create a new one , or, take pictures that went up to the competition in the past post?

tengo que crear un conjunto nuevo o sacarle foto al que ya subi??

(no estoy segura que en ingles diga lo mismo)

 

I have a pretty clear design concept...no sketches yet. I plan to have Sara come as Donatello, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle! Here's the twist: she's still dressed to go to a swanky party. So the idea involves a long green kimono style dress with a low belt with a "D" buckle, purple bands around her arms and legs, a purple mask, a turtle shell bag (for candy), and a bo. See? Turtle and fancy dress.

 

yes,if it makes sense ^ ^ thanks for clarifying

 

I have too many ideas and I wonder if any one of them will pan out (as always). I was thinking 'my little pony' since my Bygg is an Unicorn... but not sure if that will happen.

I'm also debating between going really cute or do something crazy LOL

 

I have some really cool yarn that I'm working on knitting an entire kinda frilly fairy outfit. If I can't get it all done I'll make something up.
